Yes. And as far as I’m aware, Lemmy lacks this capability altogether.
@tc
Lemmy lacks the ability, yeah. For now, anyway. Kbin seems to have a bright future as a useful go-between for mastodon and forum users, but it still needs some work atm.
• kbin can search for tags and aggregate them in the relevant magazines, but it doesn't currently seem to have a way for users to follow tags yet.
• You can follow other users just fine, but as far as I know, kbin shows their posts in the Subscription feed alongside every forum post under god, so I'm having trouble catching things that they blog unless I go deliberately to their profile.
• Which is also what I'm stuck doing if I want to boost/reply to a specific microblog. I have to search the user if I'm not following them. Kbin doesn't seem to like searching for specific posts, so I have to skim their timeline. And then hope it's even federated. It isn't always, and then I'm SOL.
Still huffy, because I saw something downright hilarious yesterday, but I can't find it on kbin so I can't do anything about it.
So all of that cripples its usefulness a bit for me. I'm still pretty happy to have it, but I can't wait to see it improve.
